BayImg, an uncensored image hosting service, is the latest side-project from The Pirate Bay folks. The main difference compared to other image hosting services is that they pretty much allow everything on there, freedom of speech above all.

ImgBay is one of the many side-projects The Pirate Bay is working on at the moment. Last month we found out that the Pirate Bay has plans to compete with YouTube, and now it seems that they also want to take on image hosting services.

Like most other projects, this one is also created to support freedom of speech and free culture. At BayImg we read:

“Freedom of speech is our foundation. And it doesn’t come cheap. You might have heard that old quote by Voltaire; “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” It’s really that simple. There are a lot of ugly opinions out there, but democracy ain’t worth much without the right to express those opinions.”

Users of the new service don’t have to sign-up in order to upload images. However, they can assign a “removal code” to uploaded images, in case they want to delete the files after a while, and tags to categorize images.

BayImg currently supports 100+ file formats, and supports uploading Zip and Rar archives. The maximum file size of uploads is 100MB, but as they say over at ImgBay:

“You’re crazy if you upload that much, then you should consider getting friends.”
